URL: From melanielam at cmu.edu Fri Feb 4 19:23:17 2022 From: melanielam at cmu.edu (Melanie Lam) Date: Fri, 4 Feb 2022 16:23:17 -0800 Subject: alice-teacher Alice Player for standalone VR Message-ID: Hi teachers, We're getting ready to put out a beta version of an *Alice Player APK* that will enable you to run Alice 3 worlds untethered on a Quest by sideloading the worlds from a Mac or PC. The big win is it will no longer require a hefty VR-ready computer to run making it more attainable for schools. If you are already using Quest/Quest 2 and would like to participate in early beta testing - please reach out. If you haven't yet ventured into VR, you can install the Alice Player directly on any computer as a way to share and run student worlds easily. We look forward to hearing from you. best, -Melanie Director of The Alice Project CMU -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
